If she's volunteering, she should already have an appropriate visa and a Work Permit, because, without it, she's working illegally - volunteer work is considered work in the Kingdom. Chiang Mai Immigration regularly inspects places for foreigners breaking the law and if they find her, she will be arrested, eventually deported and banned from Thailand.

First option would be to try to find another toilet -from restaurants to older Thai houses, they often have both. The second option and you need to sh*t, drop your dacks and squat over the front if you can't balance and do it properly. As long as you get it in there, you can then wash it away.

@Trevor ******

every entry you get 180 days as part of the visa - all inclusive. The only time you need to pay/apply for anything is of you want an extension on each 180 day entry.

@Trevor ******

you can cross a border and come straight back if you want to.

Each time you enter Thailand you get 180 days. If you dont want to do a border run after 180 days, you can extend each entry once for a further 180 days, after which you would have to leave Thailand and come back. So the choice is yours - leave every 180 days or leave every 360 (180 + 180 extension).

@Don *****

90 day reporting rules have not been changed.

You get nothing visa on arrival, but you will get 60 day visa exempt entry.

Take the same precautions you would in Australia - read the contract and make sure you document any existing damage (photographs and on the contract). Another thing to check is how the power and water are billed - ideally if you can you want a place where you are billed directly by the government, not by the owner/building, as it's common that the electric and power bills are marked up by owners, sometimes 2-3x the government rate.

Hint - the frequency is in the name.

if you're referring to the RW4U's interview with an MFA spokesperson, they were discussing unlimited entries on the Destination Thailand Visa, not visa-exempt.
